How to search Arizona UCC records

  1. Open the UCC Lien Search.
  2. Under "Organization", enter the name and pick "Standard" or "Wildcard", or use "Individual" for a person. Choose "Debtor" or "Secured Party".
  3. Or enter the 12-digit "File Number".
  4. Pick "Unlapsed" or "All (including lapsed)" and run the search. Results show the file number, type, original date, and expiration date.

Good to know in Arizona: UCC filings are kept by the Secretary of State, not the A.C.C. The search page shows the date its data runs through: on November 8, 2026 it covered records filed on or before August 25, 2026. Online results are watermarked "uncertified".

Reading the results

Each result is a financing statement: a lender (the secured party) telling the public it has a claim on some of a business's property (the debtor's collateral). Open a filing to see who the lender is, when it was filed, when it lapses, and what property it covers. Later filings on the same record, such as amendments, continuations and terminations, show whether the claim is still live.

A filing usually lasts five years unless the lender continues it. A termination means the lender has released its claim. For more on what these filings mean, see what a UCC filing is and our UCC search guide.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Arizona UCC search free?

Yes. Searching Arizona UCC records online is free. An official or certified search costs None.

How much does it cost to file a UCC-1 in Arizona?

$9.

What name should I search?

Search the debtor's exact legal name as it appears on its state business record, including "LLC" or "Inc." if your search needs it. Lenders file under that name, so a nickname or brand name can miss the filing. Check the name on our Arizona business search guide first.

How long does a UCC filing last?

A financing statement generally lasts five years from the date it was filed. The lender can extend it by filing a continuation in the six months before it lapses.
